This is my review of the first Jurassic Park movie itself, the first, best and original in my opinion. It was the one that started it all. With two sequels, and now an upcoming third sequel with a slightly different title name of Jurassic World. I favor the first one partly because it is actually about a Jurassic Park; the last two were more about dinosaurs running wild on a remote island, rather than a dinosaur theme park. As with most movies the first is usually the best, and Jurassic Park is no exception. It ruled the worldwide box office record books for years until Titanic took over five years later after Jurassic Park. Partly why I think it is such a great movie is that it combined the talents of two creative geniuses. Michael Crichton who originally authored the novel back in 1990, and Steven Spielberg who ultimately ended up directing the movie. The same is true for The Lost World: Jurassic Park, even though it was not as a big of a success as the first. At the box office, it has grossed $1.029 billion, with a budget of $63 million. It is currently the 15^th highest grossing film of all time. Some of the filming was done on Hawaii, on the island of Kauai. With the beautiful fog capped mountains and lush jungle, it really could pass for an exotic & remote island off the coast of Costa Rica, as where it is supposed to take place in the movie. Of course, Jurassic Park would not have been the success it had been if it wasn’t for the computer technology available at the time. Although some of the dinosaurs were a combination of puppetry & animatronics, I don’t think Jurassic Park could have been possible without the use of computers. The movie shows that computers can believably bring dinosaurs back to life. When it comes to books being made into movies, most would say that the book is always better. I feel that in this case, with this particular movie, that the reverse is true. If dinosaurs were never extinct to begin with, it would probably be different. It has a great cast of actors, who did a phenomenal job as well. The music that John Williams composed (who also did Star Wars) really fit the movie well, especially at the suspenseful moments. Even though I have not seen Jurassic World yet, I know Jurassic Park will always remain my favorite.
